You guys did very well! I am hoping to get to my first schooling show before the snow flies....intro level for me and my 2 horses. Please keep putting videos up as I would like to watch you two progress. Have you shown 1st level yet?
Hi! Thank you! We have not shown 1st level yet, though my trainer and I have talked about it. ...Soon. :) I certainly will continue to post videos of our progress. I just got a new computer, so it's taking me a while to get organized! If you end up doing a show this season, post a video of it! I'd love to see!
Hi there! In the training level tests, you can ride the trot either sitting or posting. I just chose to post, so as to keep my horse's trot active. For the canter circles at B & E , you will transition back to a trot while still on the circle, between the centerline and B or E.
For the free walk, it is your option to ride with a loose rein (on the buckle) or a long rein (still having a little contact) as long as the walk is active, marching forward and straight, while relaxed, with horse stretching down. The judge also looks for clear transitions between the medium walk and free walk.
I chose a long rein with my horse, for the free walk, keeping a connection as he tends to "wander" off course a little with a completely loose rein. It also helps him with his confidence, as he's still young and not completely sure of himself yet.
Thank you so much, i feel much better now knowing that, i cant wait to start really practicing, and by the way you did awesome :) once again thank you so much
Thank you!!! We're looking forward to our first show for the season coming up in less than two weeks. Hopefully, I'll have something new to post soon. :)
Thanks Tricia! I need to post something new on here... been a long, yucky winter. But, spring is here and show season is starting, so I'm sure I'll have something new soon!!!
Thank you. I was very pleased with him. He seemed to be enjoying himself. We both had fun! I look forward to spring and summer. Hoping to do some recognized shows this year as well as schooling shows.

Questions cause i wanna do one too
Should you be posting at the trot
at the part where you take a canter circle is it when you halfway to the rail (L or I) that you trot again
and my last question is how loose are your reins at the free walk
thank you

Good luck! I hope this helps! :)
